I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"Hmph, what are you doing to protect him like this? You really don't know good people."

Zeng Dehao's jealousy began to flare up again.

However, his last sentence moved Gu Ming's heart: "Master Zeng, do you know something inside?"

"Of course I know, I just don't want to tell you."

Gu Ming: ""

"Okay, let me tell you.

The key to the case is the sales contract.Of course, you know it's fake.

But the surname Qin said it was true, and it was true.

If you say, I happen to know who forged that contract."

"who is it?"

Gu Ming couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, this is a key person. As long as this person is willing to stand up and plead guilty, admitting that he forged it, then the case will have a turning point."

"I understand this truth, I just want to know who this person is."

In the end, Zeng Dehao shook his head: "I can't tell you this right now, or if you rush to find him in a flash of your brain, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

"Yes, yes, Gu Xiucai, you'd better bear with it."

This time, Su Ling finally did not dismantle Xianggong's stage, but helped persuade him.

"Gu Xiucai, you are a smart person, you should know that to win this lawsuit, the most difficult one to deal with is not the Zhou family, but the Zhou family."

Having said that, Zeng Dehao deliberately paused.

"Hehe, of course I know who it is."

"That's terrible? Bear with me a little longer, the old man has already contacted people in secret, and he will definitely support Lord Nie at that time.

When the time is right, take the opportunity to fight back.

As long as that corrupt official is brought down, there will be no suspense for your case to be overturned. "

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"Also, you have to be careful of that crazy woman of the Zhou family, she's just a mad dog, whoever she catches will bite."

"Hehe, thank you, Master Zeng, for reminding me."

Zeng Dehao took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "One more thing, you can come to me directly if you have anything to do in the future."

The implication is, don't make excuses to contact my wife if you have nothing to do.

With money, everything is easy to handle.

Gu Ming immediately found the owner of the shop and paid a deposit of 50 taels of silver, as well as manuscripts and drawings.

The owner of the shop patted his chest and promised that he would rush to make it as quickly as possible, and the booklet would be delivered within ten days at the latest.

At the same time, many workers were recruited to repair and renovate the yard used to operate the study.

According to the plan, the construction period is about half a month.

He Yongliang and Dong Sheng also started to split up, fully mobilized their contacts to promote the study, and collected some calligraphy and paintings of scholars for consignment and decoration after the opening.

Two days later, an unexpected and expected person came to the door.

Gong Zheng, that is, the troupe leader.

"Gu Sheng, tonight is Du Shiniang's first performance, so I hope you will show me your honor and support."

"It is necessary. I will take a few more people with me then."

"No problem, a few more seats for you"

After chatting eagerly for a few words, Gu Ming suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mr. Gong, you have to indicate on the sign that this play is an opera adapted from a novel I wrote."

"Okay, okay, I'll add this sentence when I get back."

"Haha, thank you very much!"

That night, Gu Ming invited Nie Xiaoqian, Yu'er, He Yongliang and others to go to the theater together.

It seems that this show is very much anticipated. When I went, it was almost full, and there were still many people standing behind.

All in all, it's very popular.

After the show started, Gu Ming watched it very intently.

It seems that Gong Zheng still put a lot of thought into making up this play, and made some deletions and modifications to make it more suitable for the stage effect.

Especially the ending is even more ingenious, making Li Jia repent at the last moment, preventing Du Shiniang from jumping into the river, and vowed never to let her down.

With such a change, the common people immediately applauded like thunder, and some people generously rewarded them with money.

As expected, this drama will definitely become popular.

It is also a good thing for Gu Ming. After all, he is the original author of the story. If the drama becomes popular, his fame will gradually spread.

Once the name is famous, the novels written will naturally become more popular.

"So lovely!"

On the way back, Yu'er couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Of course, this show has become popular, and there must be other theater troupes coming to ask for scripts in the future."

He Yongliang had a smug tone, as if he was the original author.

Yu'er nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Mr. Gu, you can write more stories like this, and make them into operas for everyone to watch, hee hee."

"Hehe, I will write when I have time."

At present, Gu Ming is not in the mood to write anything else, he will wait for the study to open first.

After returning to the thatched shed, after a short rest, he called up the system task interface and took on the daily task: copying Du Shiniang.

This task is difficult to say, easy to say.

After all, there are thousands of words, and only 5 experience points are rewarded for copying it once.

But there is no way, except for one main task, there are no other tasks to take on for the time being.

In the past few days, I have been copying every day, and at least I have accumulated 35 experience points.

After continuously transcribing for more than an hour, the task is completed and submitted:

Gain experience value 5

"go to bed!"

Gu Ming got up and stretched, washed up briefly, and fell back on the bed.

It was just dawn, and I got up energetically to copy it again, and got another 5 experience points.

It was three poles in the sun, and I just went to the street to set up a stall.

County government office.

Yu'er was still immersed in the opera last night, chatting with the young lady with relish.

After a while, footsteps and Nie Hongshu's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Master is back"

Yu'er hurried to the door to meet her.

Nie Xiaoqian heard other people talking, so she turned her head and walked to the back room to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, my father's voice came from behind: "Xiaoqian, come and meet Master Qin and Young Master Shen."

Master Qin?

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but frowned, and subconsciously turned around to see that it was the county magistrate Qin Shou.

Along with him was a young man in his twenties, dressed in fancy clothes and holding a folding fan, who looked like a dandy at first glance.

Even if you don't like it in your heart, you can't lose your etiquette.

So, he walked forward slowly and gave a blessing: "I have met Mr. Qin, and Mr. Shen."

"Hehe, Miss Nie is indeed a stunning beauty!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen waved his fan and clapped his palms, and smiled at Nie Xiaoqian in a flirtatious tone.

Chapter 37 What are you?Dare to speak wild words in front of this official?

With such a frivolous movement and tone, not to mention Nie Xiaoqian, even Nie Hongshu's face became dark on the spot.

"Mr. Shen, my little girl is just an ordinary girl, and I can't bear such praise from Mr. Shen."

"Hahaha, Lord Nie, please don't mind. Mr. Shen is outspoken when you think about it. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Lord Nie."

Qin Shou hurriedly slapped haha ​​to smooth things over.

This Mr. Shen has a lot of background, he can't afford to offend him.

Mr. Shen, named Shen Xiuyuan, his father, Shen Butong, was the salt transport envoy of Jinhua Prefecture, and his official residence was from the sixth rank.

The official rank is one level higher than that of Qin Shou. The important thing is that the Salt Transport Envoy is an official with real power, and there are many people trying to fight for this position.

Fat difference, proper fat difference.

Since ancient times, many of those well-known wealthy businessmen have made their fortunes by selling salt.

It is no exaggeration to say that the word "salt merchant" is almost synonymous with "big rich" in the minds of many people.

However, the risk of relying on illegal salt sales is extremely high, and in severe cases, the family may even be ransacked and exterminated.

Relying on the special status of the Salt Envoy, Shen Butong can be said to be majestic, and the money is soft.

"Daddy, my daughter is feeling unwell, please leave first!"

Nie Xiaoqian felt ashamed and angry, she only saluted her father, then turned and left.

When she was gone, Nie Hongshu pretended to say: "Lord Qin and Mr. Shen, it's all because Nie is too arrogant and used to the little girl on weekdays, making the two of you laugh."

Qin Shou frowned, but did not answer.

Shen Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "Hmph, what a disappointment!"

"Yu'er, make three cups of tea quickly."

"Yes"

Yu'er replied with a prolonged voice on purpose, and walked slowly into the room to make tea.

After brewing, the eyeballs couldn't help turning, and some dust was rubbed on the wall until two bowls of tea were taken out.

I wanted to spit some saliva, but after thinking about it, forget it.

That kind of person is not worthy of drinking Yu'er's saliva.

"Sir, here's your tea"

Yu'er wittily put the cup of tea without additives in front of the master.

Of course, Qin Shou and the two of them couldn't guess that there was something added to the tea, so they picked it up and took a sip.

After chatting for a while, Shen Xiuyuan pretended to cough a few times, and gave Qin Shou a look.

Qin Shou understood it, and immediately straightened his waist, cleared his throat and said, "Lord Nie, today, my official and Mr. Shen are here to visit, and there is actually an important matter to discuss."

"Oh? I don't know what your lord wants to do?"

"That's right, Mr. Shen admired Miss Nie when he heard that she is not only beautiful, but also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, I asked my official to come to be a month old, and wanted to ask Mr. Nie to marry him with a thousand pieces of gold. "

"what?"

Nie Hongshu shook his hand, and the tea bowl almost fell to the ground.

It wasn't until now that he finally realized why this Qin man was so enthusiastic today and insisted on bringing Shen Xiuyuan with him.

Dare to love, are you planning on his precious daughter?
